The rules you must know

Medicine is one of the most tightly controlled things to ship, and the rules are set by the destination country, not the UAE. Always send personal quantities only, in the original labelled packaging, and include a copy of the prescription or a doctor's letter for anything prescription-based.

Some medicines that are normal in the UAE are controlled or banned elsewhere โ€” strong painkillers, sleeping tablets, some psychiatric and hormone medicines are common examples. If in doubt, check the destination's health authority (for example India's CDSCO, or the importing country's drug regulator) or just message us and we will check before you ship.

How to pack and declare it

Keep everything in the original box with the label and batch number visible, include the prescription copy inside, and declare the contents honestly on the shipping invoice with the value. Do not mix medicine loosely with other items.

Temperature-sensitive medicine needs a service that can maintain the required conditions. Do not place it in a normal parcel unless that handling has been confirmed in writing. Medical paperwork such as reports is a separate document shipment.

What it costs

First confirm that the medicine can be accepted. The price then depends on the packed weight and dimensions, destination and any special handling. Send the exact product details for a check before relying on a general rate estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send prescription medicine from Dubai?
Possibly, but acceptance is not automatic. The exact medicine, active ingredient, quantity, prescription, carrier and destination-country rules must be checked before booking.
Do I need a prescription to send medicine abroad?
Prescription medicine normally needs supporting medical paperwork, but the required documents differ by destination and medicine. Over-the-counter status in the UAE does not guarantee acceptance abroad.
Can you ship medicine that needs to stay cold?
Do not use a normal parcel service unless suitable temperature-controlled handling has been confirmed in writing. Availability for the medicine and route must be checked before collection.
How much does it cost to send medicine from Dubai?
A price can only be confirmed after the medicine is accepted and the packed weight, dimensions, destination and required handling are known. The general calculator is not an acceptance decision.
What medicines cannot be shipped?
Narcotics, controlled substances, large or commercial quantities, unlabelled loose tablets and anything banned in the destination country. If you are unsure, message us the item and destination and we will check before you ship.
